Victor Ramdin sat down to start the play and soon after swapped out with 2003 Main Event champion Chris Moneymaker.
Moneymaker got into the action right away, making it 525 to go from the small blind after an early position raise and getting called. Then on the 
flop his continuation bet got his opponent to fold.
Moneymaker then exited the table after he tagged in Steven Klein.
The board read 
and the player in mid-position was sitting in the tank after he had checked and Eyal Bensimhon had bet 1,425. After a while, Bensimhon's opponent folded.
Bemsimhon told the live reporting team who else was in his team and said the following: "They all played an orbit and left me with like 4K — they're all fishes! Please put that in the reporting!"

Allen Kessler told the live reporting team that Roland Israelashvili had lost almost half of their stack already when he ran kings into aces. When asked for more details, luckily, the team the chips went to managed to give some extra information.
The opposing team in the cutoff had raised with ace-king of clubs and Israelashvili had three-bet with kings. The flop came with a pair and two clubs. There was a bet and a call.
The turn was another club and somehow Israelashvili managed to not lose it all (according to Kessler).
Lena Evans is now at the table for their team to try and build the stack back up.

Sidney Farber is teamed up with Ryan Hughes after they met at the tables during the WSOP Europe last year in King's Casino in Rozvadov, Czech Republic. Farber said that Hughes would finish in the top 6 of a PLO event and if that would happen, Farber would get a freeroll into this event this year. As it happened, Hughes apparently did just that and so gave Farber the $1,000 for the buy-in today.
